My full-time job for over a decade has been performing as a freelance musician. Of course, I want people to pay artists and musicians [A TON] to perform live. So\u2026 when I saw this petition going around on Facebook saying we should force the Minneapolis Parks & Rec board to pay artists for every free outdoor concert, no matter the size\u2026 why did I initially feel like I disagreed with it?\xa0\nFor Part 2. of this convo, I recorded my chat with Nate Babbs [professional drummer] to see if there was something I was missing.\n\xa0\nhttps://www.thecuriouspod.com/questions/shamelessexploitation\n\xa0\n\u203b\xa0\n\xa0\n-\xa0 The Map Of Recording Locations: www.thecuriouspod.com/map\n- The Podcast Hotline:\xa0(612) 584-9330\n- Thank you to Wild Pony for the theme song to our Daily Guinness episodes.
